Canna was one of the best italian players, if not the best.
But that doesnt mean anything for him now :frown:
Cannavaro learns of granddad's death at Confed Cup
Fabio Cannavaro's grandfather died Thursday and the Italy captain was given the news after he and his teammates lost to Egypt 1-0 in the Confederations Cup.
Cannavaro, who needs to make only two more appearances for Italy to break Paolo Maldini's national team record, left Ellis Park with his head low and tears in his eyes.
"He just got a call right now telling him that his grandfather died," Italy team spokesman Diego Antenozio said.
It wasn't clear if the Italy captain would return home or stay for Sunday's Group B match against Brazil, which could send the world champions through to the semifinals.
"We don't know at this point," Antenozio said.
